MThe combs 1C strips 4 and 5 to supported by the strips of elasticu'laterial or head strips 8, each of said combs being provided adjacentto its opposite ends with pairs of apertures 10 through which one of thehead strips 8 passes in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3. of thearrangement of the combs G on the strips 8. that said combs may beadjusted longitudinally of said strips, (luringwhich adjustment saidstrips will be drawn through the apertures 10 in one or the oppositedirection and because said strips are bent at rather sharp angles at thepoints where they pass through the apertures said combs will remain inany position with respect to the strips to which they are adjusted.

In the use of my improved hair-waving device, the appliance B isarranged upon the head of the person whose hair is to be waved in themanner illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and the combs C are inserted intothe hair in a manner to cause the hair between longitudinally of thehead strips 8 to properly position said combs with respect to the headof the user of the device, and also the ends of the strips 8 at the faceof the wearer may be adjusted with respect to the strips 4 and 5 byshifting the glove fastener POP-- tions 9 at said ends of said strips 8from one to the other of the glove fastener portions 7 arranged on saidstrips 4 and 5.

It is obvious, in view of the construction of the improved devicedisclosed herein, and also because of the manner in which same isapplied to the head of a user thereof, that said device may be worn withthe minimum discomfort, whereby the use of said device at night whilethe wearer asleep is entirely feasible, and because the strips 2, 4, 5and 8 are formed of elastic material the appliance B may adjust itselfto the head of the wearer. V

While I have stated herein that certain of the strips comprising theappliance B are devieesinay be employed for this purpose.
